Claw Gateway Network Atlas

An interactive comparison of six different gateway networking patterns for AI agent systems. Each architecture makes different tradeoffs between complexity, protocol support, and operational overhead.

Click through the tabs to explore how OpenClaw (full WebSocket control plane), IronClaw (SSE + WS + REST on Axum), ZeroClaw (synchronous webhooks), Nanobot (async queues), PicoClaw (Go message bus), and NanoClaw (SQLite + filesystem IPC) handle message routing, authentication, and session management.

The complexity spectrum runs from 6 (OpenClaw’s multiplexed protocols with challenge auth) down to 1 (NanoClaw’s main()-is-the-system approach with Docker containers per group).
